Dell Vostro 1510 (are they a competitor yet? Apologies if they are, let me know and ill edit it out)

heres the spec:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T5670 (1.8 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic with Service Pack 1 - English
15.4" Widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) Display with Anti-Glare Coating

160GB (5400rpm) SATA Hard Drive
+ all the usual extra crap, dvd drive etc.


delivered for £310.20


so if i bought this id see how it ran, then get a 2 gig stick of ram, for £25, taking the spec to:

c2d 1.8ghz
2.5gb RAM (or 3 if it comes with 1x1gb stick but i dont think it does)
160gb hd

for about £335

bargain or what? anyone know of anythin better around?

I have a 1510, its really good for the cash.

Battery life is good 3hours plus, I went for a single 2gb stick of ram so I could upgrade to 4gb, the keyboard is a bit cheap feeling and the right and left mouse buttons feel cheep too other than that it is really nice.

I think you would struggle to get significantly better for the money.
